Version 1
Suddenly, Commander Grant slams open the door to the medical room in which Rallen and Jeena were put. He takes a quick look down at the two of them.
"Up and at 'em, you two, isn't forteen days enough sleep?" A second person yells as she enters the room.
"Commander!" Jeena shouts. She pushes Rallen away and stands at attention.
"P-Professor Kate, what are you doing here?" Rallen asks as he slowly stands up, "How long did you say we'd been sleeping?"
"Oh, just about two weeks," the dark skinned professor said calmly, "you were knocked unconscious, as I understand it, when you escaped your patrol cruiser."
"Yes," Commander Grant confirmed, "Luckily Professor Wright found your pods near the base of a volcano." He gave them a stern look. "Why exactly," he continued, "did you need the escape pods in the first place? I know that your ship was destroyed, we found the debris near your pods, but what destroyed your ship?"
Rallen looked at Jeena, expecting her to tell the Commander what had happened. She spoke with an uneasiness that scared Rallen, "I... I believe it was a... a..." She looked to Rallen desperately. It was obvious she didn't want to believe it was what it was, but she did anyway.
"It was a krawl," Rallen said flatly. This caused a look more grim than usual to come across the Commander's face.
"Rallen, Jeena, I want you in uniform and in my office in thirty minutes," the Commander said gruffly, "It seems as though our work is not yet finished." He left the room at that.
Rallen and Jeena looked at each other and realized they were wearing medical robes. Looking to the table between the two beds, they saw that their uniforms had been folded neatly and put there for when they woke up.
"You two be careful!" Professor Kate shouted after the cadets as they ran to the hallway, "those nasty krawl are nothing compared to the Commander when he's frustrated."
When they got to Commander Grant's office, Rallen and Jeena stood at attention in front of the large desk in the back of the room. The Commander came in through the side door that probably led to his quarters.
"So, Either Krux is back again, or the one thing we knew for sure about the krawl was wrong." The commander didn't sit down; he paced behind his desk with his eyes closed and his hand on his chin. "Well?"
"He's come back once in the past," Jeena pointed out.
"Yeah, and since he is half krawl, maybe the fall into the krawlosphere didn't affect him," Rallen suggested.
"Yes," the Commander muttered. He stopped pacing and his eyes flashed open. "Whatever's going on, I want you two to investigate it. You should start on Genshi, since that's where your ship crashed."
"Uh... Commander," Ralen hesitantly replied, "we don't have-"
"I'm giving you a another new ship. It has all the same abilities as your old ship and then some," he slammed his hands against the desk and looked at them, "Try not to let this one blow up. Now go!"
Rallen flew the cruiser low over the surface of Genshi. "Where did you say our crash site was?" Rallen asked his partner.
"It should be somewhere around..." she looked up from the scanners and pointed down, "there it is. Why don't you bring the ship down in that patch of rock over there."
The debris was spread out over an area of almost four miles squared. So far all they had found was the card input system.
"Rallen!" Jeena shouted. "I think I found something!"
Rallen came running over to where Jeena was. She had found another piece of equipment. It was probably the lab system at one point, but now it was rubble. Luckily the memory storage device had managed to stay in one piece. As Rallen reached for the large memory block, a nasty screeching sound came from behind them.
"Krawl!" Rallen snarled through gritted teeth.
"Rallen, those aren't krawl!" Jeena yelped as she turned around.
This is the continuation of my "RallJeen or not to RallJeen" FanFic that is meant for the child audience. I want you guys, as the readers, to decide what that creature is and what happens next. Remember, I will only choose three people's ideas. This particular version of part two is based on the idea given to me by:
LjArtist.
Sorry, I don't know how to make links.
P.S.: If anyone guesses what I want the creature to be, I will accept their ideas every time for the rest of the series.
